FETtec Spike Absorber The FETtec Spike Absorber uses well-chosen TVS-Diodes to prevent the connected components from huge voltage spikes. The Spike Absorber is meant to be used in addition to an electrolytic capacitor. The capacitor can be mounted directly on top of the board.
It will take care that the voltage doesn't rise above a specific level. Which means it absorbs energy once the specific voltage level is reached.
On electrical power systems using brushless motors, ESCs and LiPo batteries, high current and voltage peaks are common. The most known way to keep them in areas where they don't damage items that are connected to the battery is the usage of capacitors. Capacitors dampen any movement of the voltage. They store energy if the voltage rises and supply it when the voltage falls. But in some cases, there are very short but high voltage spikes where capacitors are too slow. These spikes are mostly very short and appear in the area of some nano microseconds, but can easily be double or triple the normal battery voltage.
Most consumer electronics can survive a lot of these spikes, even if they are over their normal voltage rating, but if the spike is too strong, or it happens over a longer period, voltage regulators, capacitors and FETs can be damaged and fail. The Spike Absorber will absorb the energy of these spikes before they get in areas where gear might get damage.
The Spike Absorber absorbs voltage spikes so that damaging voltages are not reached at all
At first I have a relatively low flight time with my Meteor65 Pro. Then I decided to lighten the Pro. I think because the motors (smaller) have a lower current draw the Nitro Nector Golds are really shining. It is at least comparable to a lot of other packs I have. So the capacity is definitely great, just don’t use them in a high current environment and they will work very well.
For tiny whoop racing, I prefer this motor with the hummingbird guts (AIO camera and canopy) on the 65pro frame with 4-blade 35mm props. Close to 20g, phenomenal run time.
Some people at the racetrack (and CIOTTI) call this an "old school" motor.
I usually make my own 180 degree power pigtail, but BETAFPV designed the perfect pigtail for a fair price, had to buy them... I usually don't like BETAFPV BT2.0 pigtail wires, the silicon is high quality, but where you solder the wire right next to the wire is where it always breaks, I don't expect this to change :-(
I would recommend these excellent BT2.0 Cable Pigtails :-))))
